It’s Week 34 and yes all signs say the fatigue has set in again. I am always anxious at the end of the day to come home and put my feet up and get into my pajamas right away. I think the # of times I climb up and down the stairs at my office everyday is really starting to catch up with me. Yesterday I counted that I went up and down the stairs 18 times. Great exercise, but exhausting. The weight pressure of the baby by the end of the day is becoming more for me to handle as well. It feels great to hit the bed at night.
It sure sounds like I am complaining a bit here – but I really don’t want it to be that way. With only 6 weeks left to go – I feel very lucky and fortunate to be where I am at. I have only gained 20.5 lbs so far and no swelling to speak of. And with the weather above 90 degrees everyday, I thank my lucky stars I get to be in airconditioning all day.
Update on the baby room: we were all set to assemble the crib last weekend while Grandma Lois and Grandpa Bill were around, but we found that we were missing a major part. I ordered the part today and should arrive in a week or so. I think the rest of the baby items have a least found a place for now. In the midst of setting up the house for a baby, we are also trying to keep it to a minimum as the house is on the market as well. Our real estate agent is running our first open house on Sunday in which we have some serious cleaning and putting away to do.
Rountine Dr’s appointment today and we begin doing weekly visits after the next one. Hard to believe – we are almost there!!! Can’t wait to meet BABY HULTEN!
